- Reflecting the support that the Republic of Korea received from the international community during difficult times in its history, our Foundation operates its scholarship programs primarily to support international students from UN member states that participated in the Korean War in 1950s, as well as countries that provided material assistance during the war, and from developing countries in Southeast Asia and Central Asia. Accordingly, Korean domestic university students are currently not eligible to apply for the Foundation’s scholarship programs. We kindly ask for your understanding.
